Edward Tick

Edward Tick, Ph.D. is an archetypal psychotherapist, author, educator, poet, international pilgrimage guide, and peace activist. He has pioneered archetypal and culturally based healing for almost half a century. He is a specialist on ancient Greece, the origins of medicine and psychotherapy, healing the invisible wounds of war and violence, and restoring the polis. Among his ten books, The Practice of Dream Healing and War and the Soul are modern classics, and his books have been translated into several languages. Warrior’s Return is translated into both Russian and Ukrainian, and used for their contemporary healing along with Ed’s zoom support, even as the war proceeds. The documentary“Healing a Soldier’s Heart,” was a PBS special this past Veterans Day weekend. In addition to his private practice Ed works in Greece and Viet Nam on holistic and spiritually based healing and restoration of the Asklepian dream incubation tradition and other ancient practices. His newest book discussed today is Passage to Poros: In the Sanctuary of the Sea God.
